the record companies shot themselves in the foot a decade ago, by continuing to screw over the artists - almost all of the don't receive royalties until selling X number of albums (hence the nonstop one-hit wonders...) - and losing their moral high ground for exorbitant costs of copies that cost pennies to make.
if CD's were 5 bucks almost no-one would copy them.
so few companies, so little foresight.
we will not miss them.
